Sunday, February 22nd, 2015. New York City – Today, was the 16th Annual Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade & Festival in NYC. Over 5,000 people marched in the parade, which started at 1pm at Mott Street and Canal Street and ended at 3pm at Sara D. Roosevelt Park.
2015 Chinese New Year Day was on Thursday, February 19. Chinese New Year Day is the new moon day of the first lunar month. The new moon time of the first lunar month is at 7:48 A.M. of February 19, 2015 in China Standard Time.
2015 is Year of the Sheep.
Some famous people born in the Year of the Sheep are Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Twain, Jay Chou and Zhang Ziyi.
The article “Chinese couples shun Year of the Sheep babies” by Shen Lu and Katie Hunt on CNN, says “Each of the 12 animals has it virtues and flaws, with the dragon, horse and tiger considered the luckiest.
Isaac Yue, who teaches Chinese mythology at the University of Hong Kong, says the sheep was associated with compassion and filial piety — important qualities praised by ancient scholars but these virtues have fallen out of favor.”
According to the website www.mysticmamma.com, “The Wood Sheep brings a feminine Yin energy of togetherness which strengthens relations and inspires community-building as collective/group consciousness comes to the fore. All acts of kindness, cooperation, healing and creativity are encouraged!”
